Bring a canned good to school for protection?

This was in the news this morning school is asking parents to arm their kids with canned goods to protect them from intruders. It is part of the new federal mandate to protect kids in case of school shooters. How dumb is this?

The school my ds went to for pre-k and kindergarten(we homeschool now) is doing this. It is absolutley ridiculous. I mean are the kids supposed to have good enough aim and strength to throw a can at an armed gunman? Will they have target practices? What happens when a kid has a "meltdown" or starts a fight or whatever and starts throwing cans at other students? There have been no questions answered. Just a can food request letter.
